As real life mimics fiction...

I have always been impressed at how some people take full advantage of what's around them. A grand great example is the wonderful world of sandcastles and snowmen. One is for the summer and the other for the winter, and with this being the season for snow we are in snowman season!!

Now does anyone remember an episode of The Simpsons where Marge manages to get Itchy and Scratchy toned down to be non-violent and non-offensive. And then the group that she's formed sort of goes... overboard. To the point that when Michelangelo's David comes on tour it is deemed offensive.

And real life...?? Well, this story about how a snow sculpture of Venus de Milo had to be either covered up or knocked down.... all because someone found it "too risque". To be honest, the covered up version looks even worse. The green bikini and blue wrap makes it so much more noticable.

There is also a part of me that just wants to see the real one in that get-up as well...
